Okay, so there's always been this little annoyance on Linux's Perl Tk that I just couldn't seem to get rid of. And that is...
Most widgets (namely, Entry, Button, Checkbutton, Radiobutton, etc) would have extra borders around them. This extra border is normally the same color as the default window background, and therefore is only noticeable when you change the window background.
Here's a screenshot for demonstration:
I was almost going to go as far as to program my own Tk widgets as replacements to these defaults *just* to overcome this little annoyance.
But then I discovered a lil trick to fix the problem and just about punched myself in the face at how simple it was!
Simply use the following options when configuring your widget...
So, I just thought I'd post this here for anyone else who might've been having the same problem as me.

Simply use the following options when configuring your widget...
Code:
-highlightbackground
The color of that border when it doesn't have focus
-highlightcolor
The color when it does have focus
-highlightthickness
The thickness of the border (0 = get rid of it completely!)So, I just thought I'd post this here for anyone else who might've been having the same problem as me.
